Pretty soon bells are jingling and the rumours that Santa Clause is coming to town abound. Christmas time is a time for joyous celebration, a time for singing, and above all a time for love and family.<\/p>\n<p>On the eve of 2 December 2011 at 18h30 all these things will festively come together as the amphitheatre at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort &amp; Spa is transformed into a magical world of candlelight and melody as the sounds of Christmas fill the air and lighten spirits \u2013 all in aid of the Garden Route SPCA; an incredible organization, and their crusade against cruelty, especially with the festive season fast approaching.<\/p>\n<p>International vocalist Voldi George will join the talented and multi-award winning South Cape Children\u2019s Choir conducted by Jan-Erik Swart as they take guests on a melodious meander through some of the most moving Christmas carols ever composed. Carols inspire love and unity, caring and peace, aspects so dearly needed to not only heal communities, but also to ensure the safety and love of animals in our care.<\/p>\n<p>The Garden Route branch of the SPCA currently serves the interests of all animals in Sedgefield, George, Victoria Bay, Herold\u2019s Bay, Glentana, Great Brak River, Klein Brak, Hartenbos, Mossel Bay and even reach as far as Albertinia and Uniondale under special circumstances. Dedicated staff members are committed to stop animal cruelty through education and assistance and always go the extra mile in service of those who don\u2019t have a voice \u2013 pets and animals in general.<\/p>\n<p>Add your voice to those fighting and educating against cruelty towards animals and come and carol against a candlelit backdrop on a starlit night and start your festive season off with the most important gift you can give \u2013 the gift of caring. Join us at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort &amp; Spa.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are available at R20 per person at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort &amp; Spa and include a candle. Various food stalls and children\u2019s entertainment will be available at the venue. No bookings are required so invite your friends, your loved ones and especially your family and start the festive season off in good spirits with heart warming carols by candlelight. Pet presents are also welcome!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5580\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5580\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/SPCA_George.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5580\" title=\"SPCA_George\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/SPCA_George.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/SPCA_George.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/SPCA_George-300x243.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5580\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heather Church and Heather Baker from the SPCA, Voldi George and Jan Erik Swart from SKKK and Milissa Els from the Hyatt Regency Oubaai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"adsense\">\n<div class=\"widget widget_text\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Nadia Du Plessis<br \/>\n<strong>Web Site:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gojipr.net\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.gojipr.net<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GEORGE, SOUTH AFRICA (November 2011) \u2013 It\u2019s time to get vocal in your support for the SPCA at the annual SPCA Carol\u2019s by Candlelight hosted by Hyatt Regency Oubaai on the evening of 2 December 2011.
